The astute management of technology is essential for firms who wish to compete within the new economy. In this in-depth study, David Teece considers how firms can exploit technological innovation, protecting their intellectual capital, while staying ahead of the competition. Providing frameworks as well as practical advice, he looks in particular at the organization structures most likely to support innovation, and how managerial decisions and strategy affect the division of the gains. Essential reading for academics, managers, and students alike who want to keep abreast of contemporary strategic challenges.
